1) Online play is an old addition to games. NES had it, SNES had it, Dreamcast had it. I think even Atari has had it. Maybe MS has evolved the service some, but the result is still the same. Just cause its good doesnt make it a re-invention (unless the term is used loosely). Even GBA-GCN connectivity is more new idea, and it sucks compared to XBL.
